Who’s smiling in #MyBelmontChair?

This time, not only do we want to see more pictures of your colourful and ergonomic chairs, we also want to see Who’s Smiling in #MyBelmontChair…

Is it a patient delighted with the results of the treatment, or relieved to have overcome their nerves to even venture onto the dentist’s chair? Is it you, or a member of your staff celebrating a successful treatment or clinical first in their career? Or is it just a funny moment that’s made someone smile?

To share who’s smiling in your chair, take a snap of the happy subject in your Belmont chair and post it as a comment on the Facebook competition posts or on Twitter, with the hashtag #MyBelmontChair, and add a short explanation of why they’re smiling.

There are two prizes up for grabs this time – £250 of High Street Vouchers for the winner, and £150 of Entertainment Vouchers for the runner up. And this time – it’s up to YOU who wins! We’ll post the top five entrants on Facebook and invite you to vote for your favourite.

You’re used to putting smiles on people’s faces. Share one of them in your Belmont Chair, then sit back, relax and think what you could spend your vouchers on if you win!

Belmont equipment advice after lockdown

You might be wondering what you should do with your treatment centre before re-opening your practice or is there any protocol that you should be following. We are sharing with you 8 Simple Steps on how to protect your dental equipment when leaving unused for long periods. Please read carefully prior to taking any action.

If complete shutdown for an unspecified period of time is imminent take off the clean water bottle and tip any residue water away and put the bottle back on empty. After removing the couplings and handpieces from the delivery system hold the hoses over a bucket and press the flush button or run the automatic flush if your unit has one. It’s important remembering while flushing to press the syringe buttons in order to release any trapped water and continue to run the flush until the handpiece hoses run dry.

Do not forget to clean your suction hoses and spittoon with your recommended suction cleaner. Then run water through the hoses to make sure any residue left in the hoses is diluted down.

Make sure the suction pump is switched on before cleaning the hoses.

When the system is completely dry and the suction hoses cleaned switch the main chair switch off and any chair isolator in the room “turn off”.

If all the treatment centres in the practice are to be shutdown for a period of time make sure the staff turn off the compressor and the suction pump.

If you are concerned about shutting down your equipment call your equipment dealer to help you run through this process safely. They will always be happy to help and advise at this difficult time.

When the time comes to return the dental treatment centre back to full use, please be aware that you will need to test your waterlines as per your normal CQC protocol. This action is essential part of the process as you want to check that you don’t have any biofilm build-up during the period of stagnation.
